Earthquake Frenzy, Funeral Fires, and Dinosaurs Out of Work: What a Day!

Talk about a day to remember! The Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia kicked off the week with an 8.8 magnitude earthquake that sent shockwaves across the Pacific. While the waves didn’t wreak havoc on California, Oregon, or Washington, folks surely had their smartphones ready to share their panic. Can you imagine the memes already? Thankfully, no one was seriously injured—just your average day of earth-shaking drama in our complicated world.

Meanwhile, back in Seattle, the Columbia Funeral Home and Crematory was pummeled by a fire right when they were gearing up for a Friday service. Firefighters suspect arson, which only adds another layer to this eerie storyline. So, a fire at a funeral home? Just when you think you’ve seen it all, life throws you a plot twist that could rival a horror flick.

And if that weren’t enough, the Pacific Science Center is making waves of its own—saying goodbye to its beloved mechanical dinosaurs! After decades of working hard to engage kids and grown-ups alike, they’re getting replaced by… spiders? The world just keeps getting weirder! If anyone’s looking for a new job, the animatronic dinosaurs might need some PR advice—poor things!
